Brideview Drama’s festival entry for this year, “Pied a Terre” was played to a very appreciative audience in Tallow over the weekend. The feedback received from those who attended was most encouraging and comments like “the best festival production coming from Brideview in a long time” and “superb set” were most encouraging.

Directed by Jack Aherne the play is an adult story with comedy as well as some very emotional scenes playing out the drama between three characters; Katie, a nineteen year old prostitute (Irene Kelleher), Jack, a fifty year old lawyer (Eddie Kelly) and Jack’s sister (Vanessa Hyde). There are many twists and turns in the plot and the audience is kept guessing right up until the final scene. With a superb set designed by Mary Sheehan and built by Peter Seeley, Mary Sheehan and Judy Burton and with help from James Hyde and Des Fitzsimons – the drama is played out in the New York apartment setting which is plush and not at all “conventional”.

Brideview would like to thank our Sponsors, Ted Keniry and Daybreak in Tallow and all those kind supporters who donated raffle prizes. Thanks once again to Paddy and Margaret Geary for handling front of house and to Mary Curley, Carmel McDonnell, Audrey Sheehan and Veronica Henley for their help with the interval refreshments.
